Characterization of dose impact on IMRT and VMAT from couch attenuation for two Varian couches

In intensity‐modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and volumetric‐modulated arc therapy (VMAT), the use of posterior oblique beams has become common. Beam attenuation by the treatment couch is not negligible when the couch is in the beam portal. In this study, we established the relationship of relativ...
